BROOKLYN, NY – The tension was thick in the courtroom when Michael Vick choked out his guilty plea to hosting dog fighting and taking part in the gambling, but what’s got everyone worried are the extra charges that have been popping up as a result of his prolonged stint in the limelight.
“Let’s not go overboard, here.” Jacob Breckenridge, Michael Vick’s attorney, had to say. “There are a lot of fingers being pointed, a lot of allegations being wildly thrown around, and frankly, I’m sick of it. Everytime someone gets a little extra attention, a little more spotlight, everyone’s got something to say about it.”
Though the “someones” in this case don’t seem to think their case lacks validity, unlike the approximate 78 other cases currently being weighed in, almost literally, against Vick. They’re GLAAD (Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) but in this instance, are far from representing their titular acronym.
“Michael Vick wasn’t in dogfighting for the money, he wasn’t in it for the sport, Michael Vick was having purebred dogs, dogs from overseas if need be, buying and training only a certain type of dogs for this gruesome combat. Michael Vick was specifically torturing gay dogs.” Gina Remi, spokesperson for GLAAD, had to say. “Dogfighting isn’t necessarily ‘bad’ you could say — I mean sure, it’s cruel and whatever — but this was pure symbolism. Michael Vick hates gay people, and uses gay animals to prove it.”
Whether or not this case will hold any water against him, Vick certainly did not help himself by referring to GLAAD as “you mean those angry faggots?”
